In this episode of the Learning from Smart People Podcast with Rob Oliver we learn how to use your voice, follow your heart and live from Barbie Wharton. Barbie has a variety of thoughts and wisdom to share that come from her life including being an entrepreneur and reassessing her life when she experienced Bell’s palsy. It’s a fascinating story and one we can all learn from!
Here are some of the points that Barbie Wharton and Rob Oliver discussed during this episode of the Learning from Smart People Podcast:

· Why we all need to come together and figure out why we are on this planet
· Doing a self-assessment of who am I really…
· We need to pay attention to the opportunities that are put in front of us, especially the weird ones
· Choosing not to settle doesn’t happen all at once, it happens in small steps
· Be careful about judging other people, they may have things going on that you don’t understand
· Sometimes we do things simply to avoid discomfort
· Other people don’t know what they are doing, don’t accept their expectations of you
· Pay attention to those “icky feelings”
· The difference between things that are difficult and things that don’t feel right
· You only get one body, if you don’t take care of it… You will pay
· Self-care is just as important to your health as exercising and eating properly
· Self-Care is about making you feel fulfilled
· Carrying those icky emotions around inside will eventually turn into something ugly
· Does any form of disability fundamentally change who you are? Think about it…
· When Barbie’s mouth was paralyzed, it allowed her to find her voice!
